Thanks for letting us know about this video. It is a much watch if you just got your E2 like I did. It shows all the features in detail and tells you what has been updated since the machine has been manafactured and packaged for sale.

I wasn't sure if I should upgrade, especially since I've been reading that people have been having problems when they did. But I'm going to bite the bullet, cross my fingers and update my E2 so I have the new features they showed in this video. Hope it works and doesn't spoil my Mother's Day since the E2 is my gift from my wonderful hubby and son.

I have had my E2 3 weeks today (happy 3rd week birthday to my toy). My beloved OH bought it from Ideal World at it's launch as a surprise for me (I love him so much ). This video is great for newbies like me. I like to have things verballyand visually explained rather than read about things. I was having doubts about if i wanted to keep it or not but i have now gone over the 2 week deadline so obviously have to keep it! I think now after listening and watching the video i might have more pleasure/use from it. There was one thing though. I was under the impression from Ideal World that some samples they showed which they said had been done on the gypsy and then cut were from the pre-loaded cartridges but obviously this was not so and was totally misleading as this feature is not available yet. I was going to get the Gypsy at the same time but decided not too. I am so glad now i didn't as i would have been sorely disappointed. I think this should have been made clear during the programme. Apart from that i think the E2 is ok although it did ruin my papers when it came to taking them off the cutting mat. They didn't cut through or the paper tore as i was removing it. But i have realised from reading some posts that this is because the mat is so sticky when new! maybe this should have also been explained. I'm pretty sure i will learn to love my E2 as many others love their Cricuts. Sonia

Since there is not a thread for this and one of Chris' other thread has many pages, I decided to post this information in this thread so the information remains at the top and the members do not have dig for the information. :)

• Fixed a sizing bug that prevented shapes from being bigger than 10.5”• Clicking fit-to-page when your design spans more than one mat will now fit the shapes onto one mat

This following are still known issues to be addressed in future updates:

Known Issues:

•– Apply All button does not show up active (green) even though it is in use.•– When using Undo Apply All kerning is not changed back to the previous value.• – Undo Apply All makes it look as if all settings have been reset.• –Character Spacing is not affected by Apply All Undo• – Large negative values of character spacing (kerning) does not grey out shapes.• – Large negative values of character spacing (kerning) causes Auto Fill not to work without explaining to the user why.• – Large negative values of character spacing (kerning) uses Fit to Page to affect the character spacing.• – Character spacing (kerning) values change too quickly when you click and hold.• – Fit to Length button does not turn green when it is turned on.• – Start Position button does not turn green when it is turned on.• – The Cutting light does not work with Gypsy.• – The Heart Image on the internal Alphabet cartridge will sometimes overlap with other images.•– When the Gypsy is disconnected from the Expression 2 the Home screen does not display for 10-30 seconds.•– The Auto Fill button is still active when the design uses more than one mat.

•Enhancement – Kerning should always display a value and not a “-“.•Enhancement – Provide smaller increments for adjusting character spacing (kerning).

Girrrrlllll, do you need me to hold your hand from a distance so you can update your E2? If you need me to walk you through this, then ask away (in another thread )

Well, hopefully, we will be able to walk you through the steps and you would to do so while they are under warranty. :) So, whenever you are ready, create a post and send me the link, that is if I have not responded. :)

Mercy, First, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know I was a real pain last month whining about the fact that PC does not notify us of updates before they are available or provide Release Notes as to what they contained. I feel like my whining paid off. As a software engineer, I could never install software without my clients knowing what was changed or when it was coming. This is a positive first step. Now all we need to do is work on getting them to put out these RELEASE NOTES before the release with the date it will be available. Again, thank you so much and thank you PC!

You're welcome! Pain? lol Whining? lol Naaaawwwww, those words do not discribe you! :) You wanted information and communication and you were not ugly for asking for it nor did you ask it in an ugly way. :)

I don't know about getting the Release Notes prior to the release of the update because if the update is not on time...girrrl, I lived that moment before and I really don't want to see it again!! I like this way beter, give us the release notes after the update has been released.

Oh c'mon now. I'm not talking weeks here. They have to know at least 24 hrs in advance that they are going to put a release on c-sync. I'm sure even a company like PC has change controls for software releases?!?!?!

Weezie!!! We've told you before, you CAN do this! We will not leave you to your own defenses!

You're breaking my heart Mercy

Awwwwww, don't want to break your heart! BUT! It is still best to work because if the server has issues...or perhaps they pulled it at the last minute.

I think it's not that the updating the actual machine from here,it's the hooking it up to the computer, that there are sooooooooooooooooo many variablesthat can go wrong/screw up the computer, is what's making me nervous...

Using the white cord that came with your E2, plug it into a USB port on your computer. Turn on the E2 and wait for the USB noise. Launch c-sync and it should connect to your E2 and search for updates. Depending on your anti-virus/firewall, you made need to add the software to your exception list or temporarily disable. If you run into problems, post back. HTH
